Newest Dodger Michael Conforto looks to do damage on the ball down and in! Will be interesting if the Dodgers can tweak his approach to help him cover the ball up and away

If Wyatt Langford can do more damage up in the zone (which he did in September) we could easily be looking at a top 10 OF in MLB. This tracks with what he has his coaches talked about in terms of flattening his swing out a bit before a torrid .300/.386/.610 September (.996 OPS)

One area that Juan Soto can be exposed - IF you can get him to swing at a slider down and in out of the zone, this is likely the pitch he struggles with the most - you can see how much lower his bat speed is on sliders in that area - by far the lowest bat speed on any pitch in any location vs RHP!

My absolute favorite discourse right now is people not understanding that all of the deferred money has to be put into a separate account that the team CANNOT ACCESS 2 years after it's earned. Not like the Dodgers are able to leverage this money and figure it out later. It's still accounted for.

Patiently awaiting the Tyler Holton explanation!
Aaron Judge wins the AL MVP unanimously and Bobby Witt Jr. gets all the second-place votes, so I guess you know who I voted for 1-2.

#Bluejays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finished sixth, which is right where I had him. My ballot explainer will be in tomorrow's Toronto Star!

In today's fun video of the day, the shortest swing of the year resulting in a homer! Brice Turang, with a swing length of only 5.16 feet! Checks out that the shortest homerun swing of the year was snuck around the opposite field foul pole!
